    Hi Leah! I don't know if you remember me but I commented on one of your videos in late 2016 saying you were one of the reasons I aced both my organic I and II courses with 90+/100 in my chemistry undergrad degree. Well now i'm about to enter my senior (and final) year as an undergrad and I have organic III in my first semester and that means i'll be needing your help once again! I searched your website and youtube channel and I don't think I found videos related to organic III. My university's chem department teaches a lot of courses that many universities do not provide in their chemistry undergrad degree (organic III I think being one of them). Maybe that's the reason? Anyway this is the course outline for orgo III:
    pKa in organic chemsitry
    Enols and enolates
    Radical substitutions
    Pericyclic reactions and cycloaddtitions
    Molecular Transpositions
    Chemistry of aromatic heterocycles
    Oxidation and reduction reactions in organic synthesis
    I hope in future you'd do videos on at least one of these topics. You really are a gifted teacher and I deeply appreciate and thank you for everything you've done for me and others (needless to say).

    At 8:23, I don't understand why that particular bond was chosen as the nucleophile. Why that one and not the bond between Mg and Br?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Год назад +1

      That's a great question! The Mg has low electronegativity. Therefore, any negative charge will gravitate towards the neighboring atoms of Bromine and Carbon. However, the difference in these two atoms is that Bromine can actually hold a negative charge and be stable. While a Carbon holding a negative charge is highly UNstable and, therefore, very reactive. In the case of a Grignard, the carbon acts as a carbanion, and this explains why the electrons between C and Mg are the ones acting as the nucleophile here.
      For more, please visit my tutorial on the Grignard reaction and mechanism at Leah4sci.com/Grignard

    11:20 why did O moved it's lone pair in the first place?? It's electronegative and can easily hold -ve charge so why did it shift it's lone pair towards less electronegative N??

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  Год назад

      Of course, oxygen is electronegative. It can hold negative charge, but it can also be happy and stable when neutral. Notice that the new molecule that we form in this reaction has lower total formal charges and is arguably MORE stable than our starting molecule because of this.

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  6 лет назад

      we look at the specific area on the molecule that gets attacked. In this case it's the carbonyl carbon while the oxygen does not get attacked or do an attack.

      OH is a strong attacker and bad leaving group. Cl is the opposite. The better leaving group is the one that gets kicked out

  • @Abkuyper
    @Abkuyper 7 лет назад

    10:50 The formal charge makes C, negative and Cl neutral and partial charge makes C, positive and Cl, negative.
    Why does the electron moves from C to Cl not Cl to C?

    • @Leah4sci
      @Leah4sci  6 лет назад

      I'm confused, C is not negative. Cl is electronegative and pulls on the electrons so much till they break off and collapse onto the Cl pulling them.

Hope this makes sense.

      practice and repetition. Read the chapter again, do practice and more practice. Get help if you get stuck. do more practice

      Do many practice problems and pay attention to the electrons. The problem with all of these RUclipsrs videos and Khan academy is a lack of practice problems
